Hacker's note: This is intended as an NES alternative for the 2013 game Garfield Kart by Microids. It is a hack of RARE's 1987 game RC Pro-Am for the Nintendo Entertainment System. (Revision A, specifically.) This hack is based on the 2008 NES hack "Mario Kart" by Elbobelo and the 2017 version by PacnSacDave. While most changes have been reverted or redesigned here, elements like the Mario jingle are still present. Hack by Pangent Technologies (pangenttech, Signal and Noise on Youtube) How to Play: Race your kart to the head of the highly competitive pack. Push it to the limit on every corner as your tires squeal and you jockey for position to take the lead. Increase your kart's performance with "turbo," "top speed" and "sticky tire" items found on the race courses. Look for useful missiles and bombs while avoiding water and oil hazards. Collect bonus letters to unlock three different kart types and characters. 32 exciting tracks await your challenge. 1 Player Game only. LEFT/RIGHT - Steer kart to the left and right. B - Used to accelerate. A - Used for horn, Missile or Bomb. START - Start game / Pause game. UP/DOWN - Not used. SELECT - Not used. (Exits attract mode.) A high score table keeps track of the top 6 high scores. High scores are erased once the power is turned off. On each track, race to the finish. Race ends when the first kart crosses the finish line. If you place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd, you proceed to the next track. If you place 4th, your game is over. You have three continues per game. Track items to avoid: Puddles Rain Squalls Oil Slicks Pop-Up Barrier Walls Skulls (Deplete your weapons) Other drivers Collect or roll over items on the track that help you: High speed arrows Roll Cage (protects from damage) Missiles (Five per pickup. Shoot with A button) Bombs (Five per pickup. Drop with A button) Ammunition stars (for missiles/bombs) Pick up the Roll Cages before the other drivers do.

These are displayed between races on the Track Conditions screen. Super Sticky Tires Turbo Acceleration Hotter Engine (Higher top speed) Bonus Letters for faster karts: Collect letter "G." If you collect enough of these bonus letters to spell GARFIELD, you receive a Super Bonus 40,000 points and you earn certification to drive a faster kart with a different character.
